I was more than a little surprised that June whooshed by me so fast. Maybe it’s because we had more overcast and drizzly days than I would think is typically possible in June. It’s like we were reliving March again- sigh!!
What was really great about realizing that the Fourth of July is 1 week away, is the potential for super great cocktails along with firing up that barbecue grill in the backyard. Love, love, LOVE using the grill.
The beauty of a holiday coming up fast is that I get to mix up some great cocktails as well as share them with you. While I haven’t done any mixology yet, I am preparing to do so. Don’t wait on me, please feel free to get your weekend or holiday cocktails ready ahead of schedule. Here are 2 recipes for you that are perfect for celebrating the pop and sparkle of July 4!
Here are 2 cocktails from RumHaven. Yes, you just saw them a couple of days ago with the details on ColorRun events. But these are additional cocktails and not just a rerun of the cocktail shared on that post!

A brand crafted on the belief that the best-tasting ingredients come from Mother Nature, RumHaven is made by blending premium Caribbean rum with all-natural ingredients, like real coconut water and pure cane sugar. Delivering a light and refreshing taste with real coconut flavor and tasty tropical vibes, RumHaven is best enjoyed in any light and fresh tasting cocktail, like the brand’s signature “Haven on Earth” cocktail (recipe below).
